Hi, Bloggers! Ema here along with Team C for this week's challenge. The theme this week is tag it! Your project should include a tag or it can even be a tag!I'm sure you all have noticed we've been adding 'Using Digital Elements' to the challenges and let me clarify what all that means. Fitztown is a store built on digital products! So we just want our challenge participants to use a digital image, digital paper... or in some cases... projects can be entirely digital. These types of projects are allowed. While I'm clearing things up... projects don't have to be a card. It can be anything so long as it fits the theme.
With all that said... let's get this party started!

This is a bi-weekly challenge starting on Monday and ending the second week on Sunday.

We look forward to seeing your wonderful creations.

For this challenge, you have until Sunday, October 12th, midnight EST USA. Winner and TOP 3 will be announced Sunday, October 19th.

I coloured the image with a couple of orange Copic markers, used a circle die to cut it out and then matted it on a dark orange circle. I decided to add interest by cutting a hole in the front of my card like a window and adhering the image onto the inside of the card. I had this wonderful halloween twine, which goes perfectly with this great tiger image. A little "It's your birthday" greeting on the bottom corner and voila my card is done.

Have gone for a grey cat using my copics. Matted on to a black scallop oval. The background is a pale grey. My extras on this card are the black swirls with bright pink flowers which pop! A sentiment & the black & silver bow.

Hi everyone,
Cathie here with my inspiration project for the Fall Colours Challenge.
I will admit it does seem a little bit weird to me talking about Fall; as here in Australia we are in Spring, but I do love the colours of Fall or Autumn, depending on where you are in the world.

Without further ado - here is my card

This is Floral 6, it has been created so well that the shadows are already worked out for you, meaning this is great for any colouring medium, novices to expert colorist alike.
Of course no flower is complete without some sparkle with my wink of stella pen.

I have coloured her with Graph It Markers and mounted her onto both Kraft card and deep red card, the backing card is from last year's Hunkydory Autumn Collection, I used a sentiment two discs and I added a couple of punched butterflies

Hi, Diane here with a Fall Colors inspiration card. I used a Fitztown image from a set of images called Vintage. They are available in either colored or black and white. I needed a quick card this week and it was wonderful to have this great image available all ready to use. I think it makes a great masculine card. If the images are not in the store yet you can write to: sales@fitztown.com and supply a link to this post. They will be happy to help you.

Ema here with Tuesday's inspiration for you! We'd love nothing more than to have you join us for Challenge #53 - Fall Colors! This is my most favorite time of year. I love the colors, sounds and smells of the autumn season. Especially the food! Can we talk apple pies, roasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, butternut squash soup and, my personal favorite, apple crisp? Then... there's all the fun family activities! We use to live in New Hampshire and we really got into visiting what I named Pumpkin Town and Scarecrow City. The names imply what they mean and I'll let your imagination go wild! Then the apple picking, bonfires, tailgating at football games, pumpkin carving, hayrides, corn mazes, fall festivals and my most favorite was always putting on a big comfy sweater, worn comfortable boots and going for a hike. I absolutely loved breathing in the cool, crisp air, watching the many colored leaves floating around and listening to the crunch of the leaves under my feet, better yet, kicking at a pile of leaves and see the leaves go up and flutter back down. So this image from Fitztown reminded me, first, of my dad's cowboy boots. Worn, dark and deeply loved. My dad LOVED wearing his cowboy boots. He was a Southern Baptist minister and was almost always dressed in Sunday best and dress shoes so I know it was a real treat for him when he got to wear jeans and boots. Second, memories of those long hikes I loved to take my kids on just to take in all that autumn offers the senses!

I hope you'll pop on over to my blog where there are more pictures to see. I kinda reiterate what I wrote here so you don't have to read it again, but come look at closeups of the embellishments I've used and this fantastic image!

I hope you'll take the time to join us in this challenge and I've inspired you to pull out those rich, dark colors of autumn.

It's Lynn here with the latest challenge at Fitztown. This is a wonderful challenge in my opinion; use Fall Colours. Who doesn't love the rich colours of fall; and it's so easy to incorporate them on a card or project, especially at this time of the year!

Good morning, Fitztown! Please help Fitztown's Creative Team and me welcome Tanya Johnson as our newest member of the team.

Here's what she'd like you to know about her:

Hi, my name is Tanya Johnson and I am 37 years old. I am married to my childhood sweetheart and together we have a beautiful daughter named Abby who is 7 and who also loves doing crafts alongside me. I have been crafting for 16 years and have enjoyed seeing myself grow as a crafter over that time. You can usually find me crafting after my daughter goes to bed which then allows me to unwind after a busy day both at work and home. I love making cards but every once in a while I may create a scrapbook page or an altered item. I enjoy sharing my work with others in hopes of giving inspiration to others. When I’m not creating something, you can most likely find my nose in a book, which is my other passion.

I hope you'll take the time to pay Tanya a visit at her personal blog as well.

Our intention is to use Random.org if we have over ten participants; otherwise, (Creative Team) CT Coordinator will chose the winner. We had 9 participants and I had such a time choosing ONE winner but rules are rules so on to the winner!

Now that Fitztown allows ALL digital images, the prizes have changed. You can find info about these changes here. Please email stampnscrapjunkie@gmail.com with the (ONE) image you chose from Fitztown within seven (7) days. You can shop for images here. Please use Challenge #50 Winner in the subject line.

Judy here again with my inspirational card for this week's Anything goes challenge. Lots of time left to join in this challenge and with such a open theme it is not to hard to come up with a card or project.

For my card I used one of the Morgan Fitzsimons images from Morgan's FaeWorld. It is a Flower Set of 6 Images. To add some interest to my card I added several dies from different sets by Spellbinder as accents.

Show us your art work and creativity by joining in the challenge this week.
